Natural disaster recovery assistance available

Applications will be accepted through Jan. 4 for natural disaster recovery efforts.

The United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service announced Monday that Pennsylvania is taking applications in Lycoming, Sullivan, Centre and Clinton counties.

“The funding will enable NRCS to assist local government entities in stabilizing severely eroding stream banks that threaten homes, business and utilities and will be used to help restore streams whose natural flows were disrupted by the flooding (on Oct. 21),” according to a press release from USDA.
